Description

Cisco SG500X-24P Dubai

The Cisco SG500X-24P Dubai Stackable Managed Switch in Dubai introduces a new line of stackable managed Ethernet switches that offer advanced capabilities essential for supporting a more demanding network environment, all at an affordable price. Equipped with 24 Fast Ethernet PoE network ports and 4 SFP+ expansion slots, it provides multiple connection options to enhance network connectivity. Beyond this, the switch supports true stacking functionality, bolstered by enhanced security and QoS capabilities, simplifying network security and bandwidth management. Administrators can seamlessly manage the network using the web-based management utility tool after configuration.

Designed to safeguard your technology investment as your business grows, the Cisco SG500X-24P Dubai switch stands out from others claiming stackability by providing genuine stacking capability. This feature allows the configuration, management, and troubleshooting of multiple physical switches as a single device, streamlining network expansion. Notably, the Cisco SG500X-24P Dubai switch includes fanless models, marking it as one of the industry’s pioneering stackable switches. This design choice enhances reliability, power efficiency, and reduces noise.

A true stack ensures a unified data and control plane, along with a management plane, fostering flexibility, scalability, and ease of use as the stack operates as a single entity, encompassing all ports of the stack members. The Cisco SG500X-24P Dubai switch further safeguards your technology investment with an enhanced warranty, dedicated technical support, and the future-proof ability to upgrade equipment.

Features

Easy Deployment

500 Series switches are designed to be easy to use and manage by small businesses or the partners that serve them. The switch features:

  • Simple-to-use graphical interfaces reduce the time required to deploy, troubleshoot, and manage the network and allow you to support sophisticated capabilities without increasing IT head count.
  • You can manage the switches as individual devices or use Cisco Configuration Assistant (CCA) to discover, configure, and manage all Cisco devices in the network.
  • The switches also support Textview, a full command-line interface (CLI) option for partners that prefer it.
  • Using Auto Smartports intelligence, the switch can detect a network device connected to any port and automatically configure the optimal security, quality of service (QoS), and availability on that port.
  • Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) discovers Cisco devices and allows devices to share critical configuration information, simplifying network setup and integration.
  • Support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows you to set up and manage your switches and other Cisco devices remotely from a network management station, improving IT workflow and mass configurations.
  • The Cisco FindIT utility, which works through a simple toolbar on the user’s web browser, discovers Cisco devices in the network and displays basic information, such as serial numbers and IP addresses, to aid in configuration and deployment.

High Reliability and Resiliency

The Cisco SG500X-24P Dubai provides an additional layer of resiliency with support for the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). VRRP lets you extend the same resiliency that stacking provides for individual switches to complete network domains. By running VRRP between two stacks, you can instantly cut over from one stack to another in the event of a problem, and continue operating even after a failure. The Cisco SG500X-24P Dubai also supports dual images, allowing you to perform software upgrades without having to take the network offline or worry about the network going down during the upgrade.

Simplified IT Operation

Cisco SG500X-24P Dubai help optimize your IT operations with built-in features that simplify and streamline day-to-day network operation:

  • True stacking allows you to troubleshoot, configure, and manage multiple physical switches as a single entity.
  • Unlike other stacking switches that require uniform configurations, the Cisco 500 Series allows you to mix Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet models in a single stack, providing total flexibility without sacrificing manageability.
  • Cisco switches use common chipsets/software across all switching portfolios, so all Cisco switches within a category support the same feature set – making it easier to manage and support all switches across the network.

True Stacking

Cisco SG500X-24P Dubai switch provides true stacking capability, allowing you to configure, manage, and troubleshoot all switches in a stack as a single unit, with a single IP address. A true stack delivers a unified data and control plane, in addition to management plane, providing flexibility, scalability, and ease of use since the stack of units operate as a single entity constituting all the ports of the stack members. This capability can radically reduce complexity in a growing network environment while improving the resiliency and availability of network applications. True stacking also provides other cost savings and administrative benefits through features such as cross-stack QoS, VLANs, and port mirroring, which clustered switches can’t support.

Strong Security

The Cisco SG500X-24P Dubai provides the advanced security features you need to protect your business data and keep unauthorized users off the network:

  • Embedded Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption protects management data traveling to and from the switch.
  • Extensive access control lists (ACLs) restrict sensitive portions of the network to keep out unauthorized users and guard against network attacks.
  • Guest VLANs let you provide Internet connectivity to nonemployee users while isolating critical business services from guest traffic.
  • Support for advanced network security applications such as IEEE 802.1X port security tightly limits access to specific segments of your network. © 2011–2012 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This document is Cisco Public Information. Page 4 of 16 Data Sheet
  • Advanced defense mechanisms, including dynamic Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) inspection, IP Source Guard, and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snooping, detect and block deliberate network attacks. Combinations of these protocols are also referred to as IPMB (IP-MACport binding)
  • Time based VLANs restrict access to the network during predesignated times, such as business hours.
  • Uniform MAC address-based security can be applied automatically to mobile users as they roam between wireless access points.
  • Secure Core Technology (SCT) helps ensure that the switch is able to process management traffic in the face of a denial of service attack.
  • Private VLAN Edge (PVE) provides Layer 2 isolation between devices on the same VLAN.
  • Storm control can be applied to broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast traffic.
